Question 210
In a staged Cisco ISE network access rollout, the team observes: An external application server cannot perform TrustSec authentication, yet it must be classified into a known application-server security group. Which response most directly corrects the described failure?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Create a controlled static IP-to-SGT mapping for the approved server and distribute it through the supported method. This is appropriate because static IP-to-SGT assignment supplies classification for eligible assets that cannot dynamically obtain an SGT via network access authentication. It should be verified by this evidence: The correct server subnet or host is mapped to the intended tag and a nearby unlisted host does not inherit it.
Incorrect Answers
Create a controlled static IP-to-SGT mapping for the approved server and distribute it through the supported method. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Assign suitable Security Group Tags in ISE and apply group-based Cisco TrustSec enforcement using supported security group ACL policies. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Create a controlled static IP-to-SGT mapping for the approved server and distribute it through the supported method. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Use a supported identity-to-SGT propagation method, such as SXP or an approved mapping, where inline tagging is unavailable. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
Create a controlled static IP-to-SGT mapping for the approved server and distribute it through the supported method. The offered choice instead concerns a different principle: Separate initial-node bootstrap rights from production policy-administration privileges. Those technical conditions are not interchangeable.
